I’ll start this movie adventure off with letting everyone know that I got carded to see this movie. Dropped our toddler off at my mom’s house to catch the last showing of the evening, midweek. Our local theater is usually pretty empty weekdays– so empty that they don’t even sell tickets in the box office — instead you have to go inside and up to concessions. My significant other turns to me and asks, what’s the name of the movie again? I said, Ready Or Not. The girl behind the counter says, the one that’s like hide and seek? Yes, that one. See asks, can I see your IDs? Well, since I wasn’t paying or driving I didn’t bother to even bring my wallet. I said, oh, well, I didn’t bring my wallet. She tells me it’s okay since he’s over 21. I joked that I was so happy that my other half, the father of our child, the man that is 4 years younger than me — the woman that is pushing 40 — can get me into the movie. Seriously though, they’re really cracking down on this, can’t go into a Rated R movie without someone that is over 21, and if you’re 6 and under and you’re with your mommy and daddy — forget about it — you’re all walking your asses back to the car (been there, done that). I’ve heard a few times it’s from noise complaints, that goes for little kids as well as teenagers. I guess that’s a good thing — and that’s why we do the drive in most of the time with the kiddos now.

Soooooo onto the movie. We left the kids behind on this one because we weren’t really sure what to expect. I’m familiar with Samara Weaving from the movie The Babysitter (it’s on Netflix and it’s a good one if you haven’t seen it). Andie MacDowell, from one of the most amazing movies EVER, Groundhog Day (which is also on Netflix right now). I loved the board game idea — my brother and I grew up playing a lot of games with our parents and babysitter while growing up and it’s something that I love doing with my son as well. The film is very witty straight out the gate. Funny little lines and faces thrown in before getting to all the chuckles tossed in with the blood bath. I thought it was a fantastic film with a fantastic ending. Thumbs up.
